Literacy Home Learning
Thursday 1st October
(Due back Thursday 8th October)
Within our SPaG lessons (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar) and literacy
lessons, we have been focusing on using verbs within our writing. We have been
thinking of WOW verbs to create engaging sentences.
Varying your verbs:
Write down a more interesting word instead of went in each sentence:
1. Mary…………………………………..to the post office, hoping she’d be in time
to get a ticket.
2. Becky……………………………………around the shops after her gran, wishing
she wasn’t there.
3. Hayley…………………………………………………to the museum in her new car.
Change the verb said to a more interesting verb each time:
1. “The hills are alive with the sound of music.”…………………………….. Bob.
2. “Get out of my sight, you ungrateful, horrible woman.”……………………..
Ryan.
3. “I think we should be quiet; no one else is talking in here.”…………………
Margaret.
